Setup/installation instructions for using the ASPPortal application.

1. Extract the aspportal.zip file into a location on your server where you will be hosting the portal from.
    Example: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspportal\
2. Open and edit the common/ado/connection_open.asp file at line 9, change the following line.

   Default: Application("ConnectionStr") = "provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;data source=" & server.MapPath("../../data/aspportal.mdb") & ";"
   *The default will try to auto connect to the database, but if it cannot find the correct path please update as per the example below.

   Example: Application("ConnectionStr") = "provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;data source=c:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspportal\Data\aspportal.mdb;"

   *Note that if you location is different in step 1 then your source in step 2 must be updated to match this.
   *This is very important if this is not setup correclty then your portal will NOT work.

3. Make sure the ISUR on your server has read/write access to the aspporta.mdb file on your server, other wise you will not be able to login or change anything on the portal.

4. Now run the portal, http://<yourServer>/default.asp

   *Note that this file will redirect you to the /content/home/default1.asp file.
